LOUDOUN COUNTY FISHING AT FRANKLIN PARK, OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL.

It was a lovely day yesterday, perfect for floating a small fly on the lake at Franklin Park.

Bring the family and enjoy the many attractions at Franklin Park in Purcellville, Virginia, Loudoun County's wonderful park with many outdoor attractions including:

Picnic Grounds
Lake for Fishing
Driving Range for Golfers
Football Combo Sleds for Team Practice
Swimming Pool with Summer Activities
Shaded Playground
Walking Trails
Sand Court
In-line Hockey
Tennis Courts
Softball, Rugby, Lacrosse, Soccer Fields

For me, I'm content to take my favorite fishing pole, a lovely Orvis Bamboo Fly Rod, a few small flies and poppers and enjoy the small but plentiful Largemouth Bass and Bluegill that live there. It's all "catch and release". Enjoy.

Lenn,

What a lovely spot for a lazy August afternoon. I personally have never been lucky enough to catch a fish, but I have tried! This sounds like a fun place to go and another great promotion for your lovely region.

Love the hat Lenn! I didn't know there could be so many species of fish in one pond. We don't have near that variety available. Around here, you are lucky to see only a couple of different types.

Lenn, I didn't know you had enough time to go fishing! Also, I would have thought your laptop would have been by your side to blog from. :-)

Leslie. Most ponds in the area have at least bluegill and bass. If they have deep enough water, crappie.

Gabe. Shucks. I have no problem leaving my computer at home when I'm shooting photos or having a bit of fun. I have no interest in being "plugged in".

Good to know Lenn, I thought you were always wired. (I have to confess that I can't go a day without logging in - dis that a computeaholic?)

Gabe. Goodness, I'm on my computer every day, many hours a day, but when I go out, I'm not wired. I see agents with things in their ears, holding their phone whereever they go. Not me. I focus on what's at hand and sometimes that means not being wired.
